I had intended to post one of these pictures last week but the week just flew by and before I knew it I was eating chocolate and drawing an Easter rabbit so it is a bit of a ‘buy one get one free’ blog post today! As always, when the kids are on school holidays… Continue reading Watercolour Sketchbook
Last week whilst I was procrastinating over getting some housework done (it’s just far too hot to scrub the bathroom and push the hoover round) I pulled out my Brusho. Following on from my toucan picture last week I was still up for bold, bright colours and I knew that Brusho would offer that. For… Continue reading Brusho Painting
Well, it’s been a lovely sunny weekend and we’ve spent many hours outside enjoying it. I took the opportunity of kids playing happily to do a little drawing and painting with my very neglected watercolour pencils. I wanted something colourful so went with a bright Toucan. It is also the start of world watercolour month… Continue reading Colourful Toucan
I decided between mouthfuls of Easter egg chocolate this weekend that I should make up with my watercolour paints and have a go at a rabbit illustration (I feel very pompous calling them illustrations but well, doodle just doesn’t quite work with the hours I put into this!) I’m pleased to say that my watercolours… Continue reading Rabbit Illustration
Popping in with another painting as part on World Watercolour Month. It is quite typical for me to suddenly find time for something at the 11th hour 🤣 Anyway, today’s prompt is stormy days. Not my best painting but this was a sofa doodle painted in half light after a late dinner. My intention was… Continue reading Stormy Days – World Watercolour Month
Well, July is officially World Watercolour month and I wanted to join in but the month has gone by so fast and I haven’t done one painting. I have had some quiet time today to sit at my desk and, fully intending on doing some beading, I found myself getting my watercolours out and filling… Continue reading Watercolour Play – World Watercolour Month
The kids have gone back to school today after their Easter holidays. I never seem to blog much when they are off (can’t think why!) so I thought I’d hop on today to say that I hope everyone had a lovely Easter weekend. He is such a cross looking rabbit. Perhaps someone stole his carrots… Continue reading Easter Bunny!
I hope your week has started well. The kids are off school on their half term holiday so we have been busy today with a play date and trip to Hobby Craft (UK craft store) to stock up on children’s crafting essentials. It was mainly for my 6 year old son as he had a… Continue reading Week 6 – The 52 Week Illustration Challenge
Hello! I’m still working on the illustration challenge on Facebook. Week 5 was peacock and it sounded so simple. I thought I would have fun with lots of bold colours and draw lots of feathers but the reality is that when I sat at my desk I came up with nothing. A poorly son may… Continue reading Week 5 – The 52 Week Illustration Challenge
Several days later than planned but here is my entry for this weeks 52 week illustration challenge on Facebook. This weeks prompt was Australiana and, oh boy, I struggled with this one. I had very few ideas and they all seemed a little predictable, throw in an under the weather 6 year old and a heap of… Continue reading Week 3 – The 52 Week Illustration Challenge
